has_coords not functioning as expected

[gmlmiller]

The has_coords argument appears to be pulling NA values in addition to actual coordinates when from = 'bison'. For example: occ('Allogona townsendiana', 'bison', limit=2000, has_coords=TRUE) returns 283 records, 150 of which have NA values for latitude and longitude.

thanks for your question @gmlmiller !

see the parameter description for has_coords https://docs.ropensci.org/spocc/reference/occ.html#arguments it does not support BISON - you can remove the NA's after getting the data back as an alternative
